By automatic, you mean a belt with a reel?  There are factory female holes drilled and tapped to set up a three point belts.

Yes a belt with a reel. 👍🏻

Antonio, encouragement to use Search function is, actually, meant to help you. You will find much more than anybody would answer in one e-mail. It is, actually, best to look through the Technical Manual, then do the search and then everybody here is happy to answer any questions you may have. This is for a general question such as yours.

To use the search, type in in the upper right corner window (using parenthesis): "three point seat belts" and you will get 9 hits to start with.

When you type in "retractable seat belts" you will get 37 hits.

You will probably find 95% answers there. Not sure about bordeaux color (it was not available for these cars).

"Antonio, L'incoraggiamento a usare la funzione di ricerca, Antonio, ha lo scopo di aiutarti. Troverai molte più informazioni di quelle che chiunque potrebbe darti in una singola email. In effetti, la cosa migliore da fare è consultare il manuale tecnico, poi usare la funzione di ricerca e, infine, saremo tutti felici di rispondere alle tue domande. Questo vale per domande generiche come la tua.

Per usare la funzione di ricerca, digita nell'angolo in alto a destra (usando le virgolette): "cinture di sicurezza a tre punti" e otterrai 9 risultati per cominciare.

Quando scrivi "cinture di sicurezza a riavvolgimento" otterrai 37 risultati.

Probabilmente troverai il 95% delle risposte lì. Non sono sicuro del colore bordeaux (non era disponibile per queste auto)."

Now, that being said, what I did for my 280SL and I to not think there are many differences that would affect this, is to use the specifications that Mercedes-Benz put into a technical bulletin in 1989. I will send you the PDF of the service bulletin on this. As it is from Mercedes-Benz in USA, it is in English.
